The Irish House

You'll smell the hearty pub grub before you see the dark wood interior and Guinness tap handles gleaming under warm lighting. This place does Irish hospitality the way it should be done – with bartenders who know their way around a proper pint and enough space to actually breathe when it gets busy. The Guinness here is genuinely good, which isn't always a given even in supposedly authentic Irish pubs. They've got the full lineup of Irish whiskeys behind the bar, and the food menu runs from decent fish and chips to proper Sunday roasts. What really sets it apart though is the late licence – you can keep the conversation going well past midnight most nights, making it one of the better spots in the city centre when everywhere else is winding down.
